    Machining Vanadis 4 at 62rc.

    Union Tool is my go to as well. For heat treated M4 the HRRS series has worked well making form punches from M4 HSS tool blanks. The Union Tool catalog is very good about telling what each series will cut. Their speed and feed charts for each series seem to be quite accurate as well. We are...

    Sinker EDM question about making a fourth electrode.

    At least on the Mits machine .0015" is the smallest gap it will take. When the machine breaks down the burn into decreasing overburn as the burn progresses you will see smaller gaps but not up front when you are making the program. On my fine detail stuff I use .0015 over burn and cheat a little...

    Sinker EDM question about making a fourth electrode.

    No tips on burning 303SS. However I use 4 electrodes all the time on our Mits EA12E. The control seems to out put the same settings for electrode 3 and 4. If you do a simple 4 trode program in ESPER and after you get back to the program screen look at the button menu on the right side of the...

    Old(er) Haas TM1/2 w/o Enclosure Safety

    We've had one of the "open" TM1's since 2008. I don't like it. Safety wise it's not bad. It's quite a long reach from the front of the machine to the spindle, so you aren't likely to just stick your hand in it. The table does overhang the chip/coolant tray at the extreme's of X. Our biggest...

    Making magnetic transfer blocks

    Forty years ago we used a tool and cutter grinding house that made their own magnetic pin blocks. The bodies were phenolic and the pins were nails. I suspect any combination of non-magnetic body and mild steel rod would work well.

    Networking a mix of RS232C and Ethernet equipped machines

    Does anyone here have any experience networking a mix of RS232C and Ethernet equipped machines (Haas Mills, Mitsubishi EDM's and a Makino V22 mill 8 machines total). I'm wishing for a one stop solution but how close to that can I really get. Pointers about what doesn't work are appreciated and...
